Famous quotes containing the words death and/or reputation:
“If it be aught toward the general good,
Set honor in one eye, and death i’th’ other,
And I will look on both indifferently;
For let the gods so speed me as I love
The name of honor more than I fear death.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”
